You're well-placed to discover Andalusia's best bits from this studio apartment set in Casabermeja – fondly known as the gateway to Malaga. While there's plenty to explore in this inland town on foot, the home's private garage parking will be handy when it's time for a road trip. To say this home is pocket-sized is an understatement. You'll all be bunking in together on two sofa beds and a mezzanine level for the final two guests. It's also worth noting there's no oven in the small kitchenette. But with traditional restaurants, bakeries and streetside tapas bars all within walking distance, we don't think you'll mind.

Home truths:
*This home sleeps five guests on a fold-down double sofa bed, a single sofa bed and a mezzanine double bed. There's not much privacy, and we think these beds are better suited to shorter stays.
*This home offers free garage parking with space for a trailer, caravan or motorhome.
*The home is located on the first floor without a lift, so be prepared to climb some stairs.
*A cot and high chair can be provided for little ones on request.
*This home is short on wardrobe space, so we'd recommend packing light.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
